This is the readme file to accompany the data and code for the paper: "Better to be indirect? Testing the accuracy and cost-savings of indirect surveys" by Alix-Garcia, Sims, and Costica, forthcoming in World Development.  


The data for this project is described in the paper, and there is a replication dataset accompanying this file that can be used to reproduce the tables and figures in the paper using the do files in the folder "Replication Files." The source data can be accessed through the World Bank Microdata Catalog: https://microdata.worldbank.org/index.php/catalog/.  The enumerator handbook and surveys are also available there.

The do files will run most smoothly if they are accessed through the the file "master_indirect_survey_replication.do", which also contains references to all the other files in the folder.
